Want a more feminine nose - is my desired profile achievable? (photo)

Thank you for providing photos along with your question. Based on these images, it appears you have a small dorsal hump and a slightly bulbous tip. The good news is, these issues can be fixed with rhinoplasty. I recommend an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with a strong portfolio. Rhinoplasty is a complex procedure, especially if it involves treating functional issues. Your surgeon should perform a comprehensive facial evaluation complete with digital photography. Your surgeon will use imaging scans to get to the root of the problem, recommend the appropriate surgical plan to address your cosmetic and medical concerns, and ensure the best possible results.

Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs.

The simulation that you have created seems reasonable considering that the nasal tip skin appears to be of intermediate thickness.

In your original photograph, because it is taken from below and by the looks of it with a mobile phone, the nose appears to be more prominent than in real life. Proper evaluation on better quality photographs would be helpful when you make the decision.

All in all I would say that your goals are realistic and achievable. Please bear in mind that the outcome of surgical interventions on the nose is always somewhat different from computer simulations.

Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures, that is a very achievable goal. It is very important, however, to find a board-certified facial plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty to perform your surgery. It is a challenging operation and you want to make sure your surgeon does this procedure often. At my practice, it is one of the most common procedures I perform and I perform over 90% of my operations using the closed approach. Best of luck!
